A dispatch received here yesterday stating that the schr. THOMAS PARSONS had sunk in the Welland Canal at Thorold, and asking that a tug and pump be sent to her assistance. The tug INGRAM was sent out about 5:00 with a pump and other wrecking material. The PARSONS is owned by Hosea Rogers, of Rochester.

About 10,000 bu. were damaged, and brought to this city having been purchased by Buffalo parties. It is probable that the necessary repairs will be made here.
